RYAN JENNINGS’ – LEADER X PEDAL CONSUMPTION RENOVATIO BUILD

  • Jul 30, 2018

The saddest fixie in all of. Well, not emotionally speaking, or any real reason at all aside from the fact that there’s a “SAD” sticker on the seat tube. All that aside, Ryan Jennings did an amazing job piecing this build together. The electric yellow fade and saddle tie the bike together nicely giving it a ton of pop off the page. I especially like the tonal “Wheel Talk” decal hiding out near the head tube.

The Renovatio is one of two collaboration frames that Pedal Consumption did with Leader Bikes back in the day. With Leader closing it’s doors a year or two ago, Patrick from PC linked up with Tyrant Bikes to redesign & bring the “Kagero Frameset” back to life. They made a few modifications along the way, but kept the original 2011 gunmetal grey color and lopro geometry.

Check out more photos of Ryan’s Renovatio build below.

SLAM DUNK ERNIE – MASHSF X ILE FRONT RACK BAG

  • Jul 26, 2018

I haven’t been able to carry @SLAMDUNKERNIE around with me in the bag like usual due to this broken shoulder. The solution, the new MASHSF X ILE Front Rack + Front Rack Bag setup. Last Sunday, Jaoa Danaikrit and I rode to the edge of Oregon and stared at Washington across the Colombian River. Ernie is stoked on his new bag, he tells me all the time. He’ll do just about anything to come along and starts jumping up at the front rack every time I walk up to my bike now. More to come later, until then enjoy these shots of Jaoa & Ern-dawg.

BONE MACHINE CRIT 2018 – RACE DAY

  • Jul 12, 2018

Things were heating up at this year’s Bone Machine Crit in Portland. With temperatures in the 90s and riders from all over the country things were bound to pop off. We had New York in the house, fixies from San Francisco, homies from LA, and even some of our neighbors in Seattle came out to represent for the PNW. Chrome Industries rolled up in the Van, setup shop, and sold shoes for $1 a shoe. It was pretty funny to see peoples reactions to such a ridiculous opportunity to cop some new kicks. The bike polo matches raged on throughout the day despite the heat and direct sunlight. They probably had it harder than anyone. I hope they all wore sunblock and didn’t get too roasted.

This event meant a lot to the bike community out here. It’s not everyday that we have our friends from outta town pay us a visit. And with the fixed gear scene back on the rise I think it’s safe to say that Bone Machine Crit will be back again next year. Until then enjoy some of the photos I caught in between shooting video. More below.

BONE MACHINE CRIT 2018 – SATURDAY VIBES

  • Jul 12, 2018

On the second day of Bone Machine Crit too bad it’s not 12 days long, that way we could make our own rendition of that one Christmas song. All that aside, Saturday was a day packed full of bike polo matches, gold sprints, an alley cat and to tie it all together, a bike show put on by Amy Danger. Shout out to Bone Machine for hosting these events. Western Bike Works for letting me spill a beer during gold sprints and being cool about it. And of course anybody else who helped coordinate or make this shit happen. Check out more photos below and keep your eyes peeled for more shots from “Race Day”.

BONE MACHINE CRIT 2018 – ALPENROSE VELODROME

  • Jul 7, 2018

Yesterday we met up at Alpenrose Velodrome and tee’d off what’s about to be an amazing weekend for fixies of all shapes and sizes. Shout out to BONE MACHINE CRIT for orchestrating the good times and giving us a reason to get the band together here in Portland. It’s been 2 years since the last crit that they hosted here in town and we’re glad they decided to bring it back this year.

Here are a bunch of images from the couple hours we spent hanging out and spinning out on one of the steepest Velodromes on the West Coast. The corners are said to be roughly 42-44 degrees making it nearly impossible to stand on and even more fun to ride. Check out 32 more photos below and come kick it with us this weekend if you’re anywhere near the Portland area. It’s gunna be a blast.

FIXED GEAR PORTLAND – FIRST DAY OF SUMMER

  • Jun 25, 2018

Starting things off with a bang. It’s finally feeling like Summer here in the Pacific North West and people in Portland are beginning to come out of hibernation. I met up with a bunch of the dudes at the Chrome Industries PDX HUB and went for a chill ride on the East side of town. After riding to Sellwood and back we came across and spent some time riding this fun little kicker. Dig through the post and check out photos of everyone catching some righteous hangtime.

Fast Forward to later that night. I’m riding home, throw a skid, and tabletop it straight to my left side. I bounced back up, hopped on my bike and immediately knew something was wrong. I made it the rest of the way home, went to the doctor the next day and discovered I broke my clavicle. After a week and a half of doing nothing I made my way to the operating table where they set me up with a sweet new metal plate with a few screws (see photo at the bottom of this post). It’s been almost two weeks since surgery and nearly a month since the initial accident, but things are finally starting to look up. I hope to be back on my bike in the next couple weeks and look forward to rolling with the pack again. Until then enjoy these and many posts to come while I get back up to speed.

GO SKATE DAY 2018 – CCS + NIKE SB “CADILLAC CONTEST”

  • Jun 22, 2018

We don’t usually post much about skating here at Wheel Talk, but with “GO SKATE DAY” being an international holiday, we figured we’d make an exception. CCS & NikeSB teamed up and brought the skateboarding community together to reek havoc on the trunk of a pearly white Cadillac DeVille. Tail lights were bashed, the trunk was destroyed and in the end BING won the car. Best of luck with that. Haha. Shout out to CCS & NikeSB for showing up and delivering not just the good times, but pizza too. Check out more photos below and we’ll catch you at Go Skate Day next year.

THRONE CYCLES & BLOCBOI FAME: THE GOON

  • Jun 9, 2018

Last week I got a phone call from BlocBoi Fame saying that he’s got a bike coming out from Throne Cycles called “The Goon”. It’s been amazing to see the fixed gear wheelie boy scene take off in Southern California. BlocBoi has played a huge part in organizing the community down there and hosting rides for all the Fixie Goons down there. Can’t wait to see what those dudes do next. Scroll down to read what Throne Cycles had to say about the collaboration and check out more photos below.

“We joined BlocBoi, Wooda, and Deezy and took out all 3 builds to our favorite local spots around LA to put these bike up to the test and they did not disappoint. From local trails in Elysian Park and busting wheelies at the black top we definitely took in the views. We headed to Downtown LA afterwards to cruised some of the busiest intersections while shredding the new Goon bike. Don’t miss out on this exclusive release and Pre-Order your bike today here and check out the full video of our takeover! #TheGoonTakeover”

FIXED GEAR – 420 ALLEY CAT IN SAN FRANCISCO

  • May 30, 2018

It’s four-twenty in San Francisco, and you know what that means. Bikes & buds. We got the gang together and rode around earlier in the day before heading to Union Square for the start of the 3rd Annual 420 Alley Cat. With Mission Crit right around the corner, the turn out for unsanctioned good time was insane. I only rode to half the race before throwing in the towel and taking a load off at the final checkpoint. Joints were being thrown, beers were being slammed and friendly rivalries met their match as people began to trickle into the after party. Shout out to everyone who helped throw this eventful weekend, and to Crihs Thormann for making it even more memorable.

I had a ton of fun piecing this one together, and am stoked to spend more time shooting with this GoPro we just added to our camera arsenal. Keep your eyes peeled for more fun follow footage in the near future.

FIXED GEAR PORTLAND – IN SEARCH OF STOKE

  • May 20, 2018

Yesterday, SLAM DUNK ERNIE & I linked up with some of the boys (Christian, Gavin, Avery & Hayato) in downtown Portland and rode to the Eastside in search of stoke and a place to park it. We ended up riding through the industrial area and underneath the bridge before making our way to Laurelhurst Park to ride the dirt step up. These are some of the first few images I’ve shot and edited from the Sony A7III I just picked up. I’m really hyped to have a new digital camera to play with after shooting on the same setup for the last 8 years. Scroll down and check out more photos below.
